My teacher, mentor and friend Professor Emma Park was fired from the New School for Social Research. For many of us she was singularly responsible for making TNS a place worth doing your doctorate at.

[julián gómez-delgado @juliangomezdel]

Professor Emma Park has been a generous mentor, teacher and advisor of many past and present students of the New School.
A group of current and former students is asking @TheNewSchool to reinstate her position
A letter by students in support of Professor Emma Park:

[Aaron Jakes @aaronjakes]

The letter notes that as a relatively junior scholar who has poured her time into training, mentoring, and supporting students at all levels since she arrived at @NSSRNews, Emma’s impact on a whole generation of interdisciplinary scholars is only now starting to become visible.

[Aaron Jakes @aaronjakes]

I honestly don’t know another scholar anywhere who embodies more fully than Emma the ideals of creativity, commitment, and curiosity in absolutely everything she does. This beautiful letter surveys the incredible breadth of her contributions to research, teaching and service.

Among the many horrible consequences of @TheNewSchool’s alarming and misguided cuts and restructuring, few if any have been more painful and incomprehensible than the termination of my longtime colleague, collaborator, and friend Emma Park.

[Matt Shutzer @mshutzer]

Reinstate Emma now!

Quilicura, Chile, one of the communities I wrote about in EMPIRE OF AI, has launched a brilliant initiative to inspire more responsible AI prompting. Today, don't use AI; ask the townspeople instead: https://t.co/QuFTXoONDN. So heartened to see this creative act of resistance.

[Emmanuel Guerisoli @EmmaGuerisoli]

What the leadership @TheNewSchool is doing is shameful. Decades of irresponsible admin depleting resources by betting on risky investments and inflated managerial (pointless but expensive) class to transform a respectable institution into a hollow brand with "radical taglines".

[Critical Theorist in Exile @exiledfromexile]

IRS990 disclosures show senior administrators pushing to fire faculty and staff today for “financial reasons” regularly receiving 10 to 25 percent pay bumps, leading sometimes to pay INCREASES greater than the yearly salary of staff colleagues who keep this place running.

[aditi @dey_oddity]

the inevitable shock therapy narrative isn't all that true, but @TheNewSchool chooses to self immolate in the name of austerity

[julián gómez-delgado @juliangomezdel]

New School University is shutting down programs, PhD admissions have been paused, and faculty are now receiving emails to resign.

Of course, this isn't the first crisis, BUT the administration's response hasn't always been like today's revamped austerity "shock therapy.” 👇🏽

That the most vile and uncouth elements of society are also expressing sadness today only shows that the two judges have surpassed even the Executive’s expectations and outshone their fellow judges who lacked the courage to *fully* oblige it. Slow claps.

[Rahul Rao @thariel]

without exaggeration, this might be the biggest political scandal in the world right now. India can no longer claim to be even an electoral autocracy.

Foxconn’s iPhone factory is turning a rural Indian town into a real estate hot spot. Its plot, the size of 220 football fields, will generate 40,000 jobs. “It’s like seeding a whole new city’s worth of employment...almost overnight."
